Looks like Walker Valley will be facing you guys again...but I'd like to see Bradley and Walker square off one more time...

Stopped listening...watching Garth Brooks now...Good season Raiders...West win it all....you guys deserve it...L8R!!!

Sorry for misidentified you...Well, one good note for Cleveland they get they're wrestlers back...just in time for Soddy...

Cleveland fumbles...West returns it 62 yards for a score...42-0

Yes they will Reggie...

Cleveland has elected to run the clock....

Jason...Knoxville has always been and always will be tough...I wish Cleveland would get back in that district...miss those rivalries plus it always toughened you up for these games here in the playoffs...No matter what Cleveland is on the rise again...Crawford told people when he came in that when Cleveland made the playoffs they'd go deep...the belief is back...even though they're getting beat tonight...they are heading in the right direction...

Punched nothing...Cleveland is tapping out...

35-0 West

28-0 West

21-0 West

14-0 West

8:28 to go in 1st quarter... West 8 Cleveland 0

Congrats to both your father and to your brother...I'd also like to say congrats to the program as well...continue the growth of the sport...

So if Cleveland had gotten Pemberton and Rhea had gotten Crawford would you still be making this assumption? Let the boys play and the coaches coach...and let the chips fall where they may...and also, programs have their ups & downs...just the nature of the beast...but to make assumptions that Rhea will steamroll past the competition is a very very bold statement...As a former Coach myself, one never overlooks anyone...to be in the playoffs itself shows the tenacity and the grit that a team shows...you must be a parent and/or diehard fan? But comments and posts like yours makes for great bathroom reading material...

West proved that you dont need 40+ plus points to beat the Raiders as some have boasted in previous threads...with that being said it is a very very intriguing match up...

Just play to their ability and they will be fine...

If they cant get a running attack coupled with the passing attack...I just see them being one dimensional? Only time will tell...anyways good luck to the Blue Raiders...

One must remember Cleveland's achilles heal was the defense...if they can turn that around then they will be able to surprise some teams...anxious to see what a difference a year makes not just Cleveland but with all local teams...

Any other time I would just ignore things...but when people attack somebody's credentials and basically their name then yes I'll fire back...my time at Cleveland, my alma mater, was fun...it's in the past...Im done with arguing...if you guys have any questions feel free to call.,, Done with this thread.., Lee Varnell

Bandwagon sir? No I think not...This was years ago...Not Bandwagoning here...Thanks Though...I had an excellent staff to help to boot...Ken Oliver, Carlos Thompson, George Haney, Josh Coleman...Im very proud of these Gentlemen...Just because I haven't been able to show my face In some time doesn't mean Im not a part of the program...but Thanks again...you've proven to me that your "Trolling" once again... It's Funny...this thread was started a week before the state tourn. Now after Cleveland wins the "Haters" start replying...Ive always been a part of that program and will always be...

Nobody said they didn't...your the one that's bringing it up...first and foremost the Oliver's came to us wanting to get away from McMinn...they pay the tuition...secondly, Ethan West and his family moved back to Cleveland...if that's all you can come up with then C'Mon Man...Im done with it...simply jealousy is all it is..
